Staying Indoors, Yet Going on an Adventure
Imagine it’s 2020, and the SingapoRediscovers campaign encourages everyone to stay home and maybe treat yourselves to a local getaway. I was on the sofa, tossing cards with my family, when I decided to break the monotony with a portable projector.
Meet the BenQ GS2
The BenQ GS2 is pretty much the Swiss army knife of projectors. Designed for family fun, it’s snazzy enough to look good at home but tough enough to survive a day out in the park or a chill session at the back‑yard. The box claims it’ll make any indoor or outdoor gathering feel cooler and it turns out the words are true.
Why the GS2 is a Family‑Friendly Pick
- Safety First – The build is gentle on kids, making it ideal for the little ones who love to touch everything.
- Compact Size – Think a tiny dog in the world of projectors – light, portable, and fits in your hand.
- All‑Around Performance – From a cozy living room vibe to a sunny patio, it delivers crisp images.
When I pop it out of the box and set it up on a balcony deck, the screen lights up and the kids erupt in cheers. The GS2’s quick setup and high brightness make it feel like you’ve brought a cinema into your living space.
Going Beyond the Basics
Besides the obvious, this projector is hilariously handy – whether you’re setting up a picnic cinema or a backyard rave, the GS2 feels like a trusty sidekick. It’s exactly what families need: portable, safe, and full of fun.
So, next time you’re planning a local escape, remember the BenQ GS2 is there to keep the adventure breezy and the joy rolling!
Meet the GS2 Projector—Safe, Simple, and a Loving Candidate for Family Nights
Why It Outshines Ordinary Projectors
- Auto‑Bright Magic: The GS2 waters down its brightness automatically, so you don’t have to wrestle with knobs as if you’re trying to win a laser tag battle.
- IPX2 Splash‑Proof: Accidental tea spills from that packet of Yeo’s chrysanthemum tea? No problem. This projector laughs at water.
- Eye‑Guardian Sensor: If little Jayden wanders in, the device senses him—no accidental blink‑harmful LED blazes straight at his face.
- Built for comfort over raw performance—ideal for anyone who wants easy‑going entertainment without stressing about pixel perfection.
Resolution & How It Plays With Kids
The native resolution is a cozy 720p, but it happily accepts up to 1080p signals. When you dock the GS2, it produces clear images. Its autofocus and adjustable hinge keep things aligned. Still, it’s not a contender for a massive 1080p screen, but it excels when you’re pulling out a quick Switch match to teach Jayden a lesson.
Plug‑&Play, Indoors or Outdoors
Set it up once and it’s ready to roll—just “play” when you’re on the porch or in the backyard. Inside, the Wi‑Fi makes a convenient indoor setup; outdoors, you get a nifty wireless dongle.
- HDMI, USB‑C inputs and a USB‑A drive slot handle all your media.
- Once connected to the internet (mostly indoors), the cordless feature kicks in.
Installation—No Tricks, Just Tactics
The GS2’s setup is painless and can easily fit into any room’s layout. Whether you’re a tech‑savvy pro or a casual gadget lover, this projector’s straightforward plug‑in design will keep you from feeling like a wizard trying to summon a thunderstorm.

Connect Anything, Anywhere
Once you hook the GS2 up to a solid router, you can plug in your laptop, phone, or desktop and start streaming straight to a big‑screen display. It’s that easy, minus the ancient cable fiddling.
Sound That Keeps the Whole Family Listening
- Bluetooth speaker built right in.
- 3.5 mm jack for external speakers or headphones.
- “Punchy” audio—dad can hear the popcorn popping, grandparents can grab their glasses for the subtitles.
- Dialogue emerges crystal‑clear: even your snoring sibling will catch the punchline.
Battery Life That Feels Like a Mini Movie Night
On its own power source, the projector offers about three hours of runtime. That’s plenty for a feature film, or for a quick Peppa Pig interlude if your kid’s hyper‑motion kicks in again. Plus, you can set a parental timer—because we all know eye health matters.
Lightweight Travel Companion
Weighing in at 1.6 kg, the GS2 looks like it could hold a small dinosaur in its case, but it’s surprisingly portable thanks to a sturdy nylon carry bag. Its build quality rivals the rugged DSLR camera bag, making it ready for impromptu movie nights wherever you go.
AirPlay, Chromecast, and the Great Streaming Showdown
Ever tried streaming a movie from your phone to a TV and felt like you were juggling apples? Not anymore. With the right resolutions and updated drivers, AirPlay on Apple devices becomes a walk in the park.
Apple: Smooth Sailing with AirPlay
- iPhone 8s – works out of the box, no sweat.
- MacBook – performance depends on which OS you’re rocking. A newer macOS is your friend; older ones might trip over a pixel or two.
Got a hiccup? Just hop on Chromecast or snag a quick HDMI cable. The connection bug will be gone faster than a glitch in a game.
PC and Android Fans: Google Cast is Your Buddy
Don’t be left out of the club. Google Cast makes sure Windows and Android users are good as gold.
Aptoide: Your App Supermarket
With an Aptoide app store turned on, you can drop the usual suspects into your phone:
- Do you want to binge? YouTube, Netflix, Twitch – all there.
- And, for the adventurous, a quirky mix of other apps that Aptoide manages to keep a comfy shelf.
Video playback feels smoother than a cat on a keyboard when you’re using these apps.
Wi‑Fi and the USB Rescue Plan
These streaming giants love a steady Wi‑Fi stream. But if you want to be off‑the‑grid, a trusty USB port can store your must‑watch library.
Bottom line? No internet, no Baby Shark. The song must go on!
